Thank you for taking a moment to read our request for a donation towards the Newark Bait and Fly Casting Club (“NBFCC”) Tricky Tray fundraiser on Friday, October 16, 2020 at our local VFW in Kenilworth, New Jersey. We hope you can help us make this event a huge success!  

Proceeds from this event will be used to provide a fishing trip for disabled veterans as well as a fishing event for people with special needs.  We had over 100 people with special needs attend for the day long event which includes fishing, much and prizes for all participants.

The NBFCC was first organized in April 1907 in a small fishing tackle shop in Newark, NJ and is now the oldest scientific angling and casting club in the eastern United States, as well as one of the oldest in the nation. Having recently celebrated its 110th anniversary, the club remains dedicated to assist veterans, children, and disabled individuals in our state and local communities, as well as promoting conservation efforts around the country. These events include Fishing with Special Friends, the Kids’ Trout Derby, Heroes on the Water, and seminars about the importance of conservation at different sporting and outdoor shows throughout the year.

As a 501(c)(3) organization, our Tricky Tray is our most popular fundraiser of the year and we rely solely on the generosity of donors in order to hold this event each year. We are very excited to welcome over 200 guests to this year’s event and hope to obtain the support of businesses such as yours to make it a success. In return for your company’s donation of a product, a gift certificate, service, or a monetary donation, we would be pleased to provide you with:

A tax deduction to the extent allowed by law (Federal Tax ID number below);
Acknowledgment in the evening’s program, on social media, on our club website, and in an announcement at the event; and
In-person recognition at the event if a representative is in attendance.

You may mail your donation to the address provided below and labeled to the attention of Ed Baluta.

We truly appreciate your consideration and look forward to hearing from you soon. 

Sincerely,

Edward Baluta, Fundraising Chair
